Watch: Saudi police arrests boy dancing the Macarena in the middle of the street [video]

Ever thought you'd get arrested for dancing to the Macarena? A kid in Saudi Arabia narrowly escaped being charged by authorities in Saudi Arabia, after he was caught jamming to the popular song in the middle of the street.

A 14-year-old boy recently went viral after he was filmed dancing in Tahlia Street in Saudi Arabia. The boy who performed the ever-so-popular 90’s hit song, The Macarena, was arrested and taken in for questioning by authorities when the clip came to light.

According to Sky News, the boy was accused of “improper public behavior”, but was luckily later released from custody.

In the clip, the boy can be seen wearing shorts, a striped shirt and headphones while jamming in the middle of the street amid heavy traffic in the background.

The boy and his guardian has reportedly signed a written pledge stating that the teen will not engage in behavior that could endanger his life and the life of others again.

The Interior Ministry said the “notification was solely intended to warn the boy about potential consequences for his own safety, as well as to safeguard the overall safety of motorists and pedestrians”.

It is believed that the clip was filmed in July 2016, but recently came to light after the showdown in Saudi Arabia took place. While some internet users say this kid is their “hero”, others believe that this was an “immoral” act…

The Telegraph reports that a woman wearing a mini skirt and crop top was arrested last month in Saudi Arabia after being captured on film at an archaeological site.

The situation led to a furious debate over the rights of women in the conservative kingdom. In Saudi Arabia, most women are forbidden by law from appearing in public without a long abaya and their hair covered by a headscarf.

The woman, who is believed to be a model, was detained by Saudi Arabia’s vice and virtue police on charges of wearing “indecent clothing”.
